[arch-releng] AIF Feature Request: Partial Automatic install?
Would there be any way for AIF to be able to allow the user to select partitions, and then everything else be automatic? IE, the user selects the partitions (and layout) they want, then it uses a profile to fill in the rest (like autodetecting the configuration) and install.

Sure, just take the generic-install-on-sda example, and override the worker_prepare_disks function from the automatic procedure to do what you want. you probably want to call the interactive_autoprepare , interactive_partition or interactive_filesystems functions.

Ah, thanks! I was wondering how this was done.
